From: Murtha, Tom [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Subject: CFP: Industry Studies Association 2013 Conference Dear AIB Colleagues, As president of the Industry Studies Association, I would like to extend a special invitation to you to submit an abstract to the 2013 Industry Studies Association Annual Conference, which will be held in Kansas City at the Kauffman Foundation from May 28-31. The submissions deadline is December 10, 2012. Please follow this link for further information: http://www.industrystudies.pitt.edu/kansascity13/ This year we will also inaugurate a "Rising Stars" best paper competition targeted at untenured faculty members as well as doctoral students doing industry-specific research. Details for that follow my signature block. Consideration for this award requires submission of a completed paper, but the deadline falls somewhat later on January 16, 2013. I hope you will consider attending the conference. It's a great opportunity to interact with a truly multidisciplinary group of scholars from both the social and hard sciences, who share an interest in industry-centered and field-based research. The venue also offers an extraordinary opportunity, I think, to interact with potential research funders. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions about ISA or the conference.
